I just bought this vehicle and my heat works, but it won't blow very well through the truck. It won't keep windshield defogged or defrosted. It also sat for three years not sure if that helps.

Thank you Alex. I will check it out. Because it does make a weird humming noise when it's on high too. So thank you.
